HABOTN 2.0 countdown begins

Hey everyone. The "new" HABOTN, which has been in the works for months, is going to be unveiled at some point this weekend.

It signals a major change in how we're going to operate here. While my primary focus will remain on making HABOTN.com a pool of credible and timely information, we're adding a proper forum to the festivities. Several of our most tenured posters graciously agreed to help me test the forum this week for problems, adjustments, functionality.

Things have been running smoothly over there after a rough beginning. I'm now confident enough to unveil the HABOTN's first-ever renovation.

See you at HABOTN 2.0 later this weekend.

UPDATE:

This will be our permanent home: http://www.habotn.com

  3. This should be exciting. I wonder if it will have a special area to store Michael's goats.

    ReplyDelete
  4. And this site has too many puppet parts laying around. I would have Michael clean up after we leave.

    ReplyDelete
  5. And a real forum is exciting. I can see the threads now. Tubertalk is one. Tony Franklin and you might be another. Bumping chests with Trooper should be interesting. A thread to keep track of the number of times Chizik says day by day would surely be a must read. And the Eric Mack and cheese thread is sure to be tasty.

  11. I have made the change at the domain level. Should be filtering through during the next few hours.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Gotta love some domain level changes.

    ReplyDelete
  13. So is it now going to be the hafotn?

    ReplyDelete
  14. It's live...erase Jaygtate.blogspot.com and ass habotn.com if you haven't already.

    ReplyDelete
  15. It should show up as www.habotn.com, correct? I usually connect with the blogger address.

    ReplyDelete
  16. It hasn't showed up here yet. It will take time to trickle through the servers.

    ReplyDelete
  17. the habotn.com address is working for me for the new site. clear your cache.

    ReplyDelete
  18. So far I can't connect to habotn.com. I get here at http://jaygtate.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete
  19. For those of you who aren't yet accessing the site at HABOTN.com, here's a (temporary) short cut.

    http://madvertiserblogs.com/HABOTN/

    ReplyDelete
  20. I strongly suggest you set your bookmarks to HABOTN.com, though.

    ReplyDelete
  21. You don't need to get HERE any more.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hasta la vista BLOGGER!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have requested registration at the new and improved lighter and less filing HABOTN.com!!! The place looks great, Jay!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks Jay, the alternative solution works great until habotn.com gets updated on all the servers.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have cleared you, SFC.

    To everyone else: I'll be at the computer for most of the night. I'll approve you quickly so you can play with our new toy.

    ReplyDelete
  26. It was so easy! That's what she said! Good looking new site Jay

    ReplyDelete
  27. (I'll still be hanging around here for a bit to make sure you all get to your new home safely.)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I too have requested access oh exalted one. Shall we put our troubled past aside and enter into the new HABOTN arm in arm?

    BTW, I read the terms of use, if I read it correctly allot of the old stuff we did won't be allowed on the new site.

    ReplyDelete
  29. We've been good for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thanks JG, looking forward to H20.

    ReplyDelete
  38. digger, I haven't seen your name come through the list yet.

    Try to register from this page.

    ReplyDelete
  39. JGT That may work I had not done all of that before

    FENG I said the same thing just yesterday and michael got mad.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Digger: I just approved you.

    Welcome to the new site!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Awaiting admin approval....

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sheesh. Give me a few minutes to eat!

    ReplyDelete
  43. No time for that. You can eat when your dead.

    ReplyDelete
  44. is someone paraphrasing Warren Zevon?

    ReplyDelete
  45. I am really going to miss Feng.

  46. I feel like i'm sitting outside the least exclusive club on earth and can't get in.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Bellfay ... I cleared you this morning!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Just got back from the lake and two nice surprises, a new commitment and a new blog.

    G, can you let me in please sir. CHB

    ReplyDelete
  49. well, phooey.

    Big govt finally allows access to blogger. Unfortunately, the govt does not allow access to the HABOTN 2.0 forums :-(

    ReplyDelete
  50. What?! No THT in the forums?! This is an outrage! I'm writing my senator this very second. This injustice shall not stand.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Thanks, Michael! I'm sure with your help I'll be in the Forums tout de suite!

    In the meantime, maybe I can get this thing up near a BEASLEY post!!!


    j/k, JGT.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Well if we keep chipping away at it, we can eventually turn the page here, THT.

    ReplyDelete
  53. in the meantime, I did take some liberties with the Arky SEC media day thread. I hope JGT doesn't mind.

    ReplyDelete
  54. It's kinda lonely over here on the old blog. HABOTN 2.0 looks great. I've been cruising around over there for an hour or so while waiting for approval. Maybe I'll make it in time for the 3:00 induction ceremony. Btw, where is the ROF list posted over there?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hi Scott Choco

    Michael and I are here to keep you company. I'm here because the feds block the new HABOTN forum web site. Michael is here because he is Michael.

    ReplyDelete
  56. So what's your plan, THT?

    Michael, how's business?

    ReplyDelete
  57. induction ceremony?

    I love math parties. As Michael can attest, induction is the mathematical demonstration of the validity of a law concerning all the positive integers by proving that it holds for the integer 1 and that if it holds for an arbitrarily chosen positive integer k, it must hold for the integer k + 1


    ... or is it the other kind of induction ceremony? Is someone going to have a baby on HABOTN at 3 pm?

    ReplyDelete
  58. chocolate - I plan on getting paroled at 4 pm EDT, and being at home with my ankle bracelet on by about 4:30.

    ReplyDelete
  59. If it's either of those two types of induction, then I'm not going (unless I'm induced to).

    ReplyDelete
  60. SC - It is "shots week" at the goat farm in Idaho. What started as a way of immunizing the goats over the course of a week back in 1997 has devolved into a drunken haze of tequila shots for 7 days straight. Although disease is up within the community due to the lack of immunizations, they tend to reproduce more as a result of the tequila. So it's all the same to me.

    Never ask me about my business.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Michael, will you send one of your goats over to HABOTN 2.0 with a message asking JGT to approve me? I will pay you (or your goat) in tequila.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Apparently I've been approved. Cancel the goat mission!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Congrats THT. You made the RoF!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I bet it was my Arky Media Days thread post frenzy today that got your much needed vote.

    Next time I'm in Idaho, I'll buy your goats a round of tequila shots.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Been out of town on a mission and I come back and everybody's gone!!!!

    I've signed up but haven't heard back from Jay G yet! Geez....now I'm getting a little paranoid!!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. You are missinit! Don't worry, JGT will look after you. I'll see you at HABOTN 2.0 soon!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Knock, knock!!!!!

    I do not like being in time out!!!

    I promise to play nice if somebody will let me out of this room.

    It's lonely being all alone........

    ReplyDelete
  68. I am in limbo too missinit and there's no way it can be any fun over there without me. I bet Michael is completely lost

    ReplyDelete
  69. Hi Harrison & missinit,

    Y'all want to have a Puppet Hour over here this afternoon?

    ReplyDelete
  70. tap......tap.....tap,

    I am finding patience is not a virtue I possess!


    Harrison, maybe you and I are in HABOTN purgatory!!!

    Dear Gussie!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Harrison has been hanging out over there.

    Have you tried your login credentials, missinit? Perhaps you will get in.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Feng, you common whore, you have been left behind. Sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  73. so, continuing the story started at 10:01 a.m on this thread...

    Nubs decided he need a playmate, so he adopted a 4 legged dog from the local animal shelter.

    ReplyDelete
  74. the dog was a bit hyper at first, and thought that Nubs was a stuffed toy and not a real live bear.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Nubs suffered a few bumps and bruises as the dog would grab Nubs and toss him across the room.

    ReplyDelete
  76. However, it wasn't long before the dog calmed down and learned that the immobile Nubs could use a little help.

    ReplyDelete
  77. The dog became Nubs's BFF and even learned to carry Nubs to the bathroom and to the dinner table (where of course, Nubs had to be placed on the table in order to eat, seeing as how he had no arms or legs).

    ReplyDelete
  78. The mailman came by one day and saw Nubs and the dog playing so happily together.

    "What is your dog's name?" asked the letter carrier.

    ReplyDelete
  79. BEASLEY!!!!!!!!!!!


    shouted Nubs.

    "Why that name?" asked the letter carrier.

    ReplyDelete
  80. "because I want to be cool like Scottie B and the Great People of KENNESAW, GEORGIA!", replied Nubs.


    And, indeed, he was.

  82. nicole obviously loves Nubs. She says she wants to contract with Nubs for a movie deal. Maybe something along the lines of

  83. I would really like your post ,it would really explain each and every point clearly well thanks for sharing.

    This is a better-quality article as they all are. I make fun of been wonder wide this an eye to some beat now. Its great to receive this info. You are fair and balanced.

    ReplyDelete
  85. sheena, i couldnt have stated it any more clearly than thw clarity with which you said it.

    ReplyDelete
  86. @aisha - What do you mean it would explain things clearly. It's a clear as the acne on your face. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

    ReplyDelete
  87. Sheena and Aisha are two peas in a pod.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I love crowder peas. Sheena & Aisha peas, not so much.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Those peas taste like motor oil. Gross indeed.

  92. I think that it is great that you are trying to make a proper site like price per head services and I hope that you can make a space for the great community that you built here.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker.

    ReplyDelete
  94. But I thought you taught that deaf and blind girl how to talk that one time????

    ReplyDelete
  95. That girl was a female. She talked instinctively.

    ReplyDelete
  96. But still. Jim Philips thinks that it is great you are trying to make a proper site like price per head services.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Jim might think differently if he was aware there is a price on his head.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I don't know if the price itself would shock Jim more or just that someone wants his head. Probably the head part, but we may never know if he doesn't come back to the thread.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Oh he'll be back, alright. He'll be headless, but he'll be back.

    ReplyDelete
  100. ok, maybe he won't be back. But I'm sure Ron Mexico will be here any moment.

    ReplyDelete
  101. What if Jim Philips IS Ron Mexico? Maybe he doesn't come around anymore because of the price on his head?

    ReplyDelete
  102. yikes, somebody better tell Jim/Ron Mexico that there is a price on his head. His dad was an all-american on the 1957 national championship team.

    ReplyDelete
  103. So are you saying the only reason we should tell him is because of his cool dad?

    ReplyDelete
  104. he's a dentist, for crying out loud! Why else would I tell him?

    ReplyDelete
  105. I DON'T KNOW! STOP YELLING AT ME!

    ReplyDelete
  106. Crying out loud ≠ YELLING

  108. It ain't dead yet. There's still plenty to talk about.

  109. I think bismuth would be an interesting topic though, for obvious reasons, you can't beat radium.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I can beat radium.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Yes. With a stick.

    ReplyDelete
  112. How did you get into the arena with a stick? They don't allow any weapons at the beatings.

    ReplyDelete
  113. No one else will notice that this thread has an odd number of posts. One Two Three is one of the very few acceptable odd numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  114. And now it's ruined.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Well, now it is. I realize you wouldn't consider things ruined if they were still even.

    ReplyDelete
  116. yep. It's ruint for good. Or was.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Well, not ruint for good. I assume you consider 12345 an acceptable odd post, right?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Indeed I do. We'll get there.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Actually we won't because of the post limit.

    ReplyDelete
  120. as i said, it's ruint for good.

  121. Thanks for letting us know about all those Togels, Jenny!

  122. I'd almost forgotten how to togel.

  123. Jenny and her Togels vanished into thin air, leaving no trace but an odd number.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Whatever happened to the Jenny and her Togels of yesteryear?
